For those of you who wear some type of sunglasses when you ride, how do you keep them from fogging up?
sunglasses fog up during rides

Anti-fog compound. Available at any sports store in the sunglasses section. Don't know if some brands work better than others, I just used whatever was on the shelf at a local place and it worked great.
Ride faster. :nuts:jacksonpt said:
Seriously though if you stop, take them off or pull them away from your face a little helps.
Yea, I noticed that if I wear them about half way down my nose they stay clear - but they distract me... they feel like they are going to fall off and the frame blocks some of my vision because they sit lower.Mtb_Rob_FL said:
I just meant if you come to a stop in the trail or something pull them away from your face a bit. Of course some sunglasses fog more easily than others. You aren't wearing sunglasses with any kind of metal frame are you?jacksonpt said:
And if you have a really odd shaped face that doesn't allow airflow would cause lots of fogging.

I have the same glasses.
I like the Persimmon lenses and I also have the cool blue lenses for when its really sunny. I just use the yellow for really low light situations.
I think the easiest solution would be to move somewhere less humid........

Kewl, I gotta get some of that stuff.
as long as I don't stop, mine dont fog up
I was told gel toothpaste works better than that anti fog stuff

Another cheap thing to try is liquid dish soapdouglas said:
I use a anti-fog treatment like mentioned earlier. Usually right before the ride and I am good...
and I sweat like a MoFo
I've got some cheapo wannabe Racing Jackets from the dollar store that never ever ever fog up...they're vented, which is nice, and they also have a ghetto foamy thing around part of the frame that keeps the glasses farther away from your face. I sweat like a dog in heat, too.
Crashby tried that stuff for a while. I think the dishsoap idea actually works tho.Echo said:
regular handsoap works fine too, like ivory....
just grab a cloth and apply a slight amount of dry soap to each lens. You gotta keep rubbing it in till you get a small sheen to it, and eliminate most of the foginess from the excess.

flip-up lenses like baseball players wear, geeky but effective, if you're about function over fashion these work the best....when you stop...flip em up,,,,if they fogged when riding flip em up a little air gets behind em and voila they defog...i been riding 10 years in Humid Vermont summers...only thing thats ever worked...i used cat crap and all kinds of other anti-fog deals...nothing really works they will fog up when you stop or when you climbing 
saliva. i haven't tried it myself yet but the local club ride leader says it works great to keep glasses from fogging!
You see divers spit into their masks.....arsenic said:
I just thought for that to work it needed to be wet, and that owuld make your glasses kinda blurry. Of course I never tested that theory
I wear these.jacksonpt said:
OK... and how does that help me?Damn True said:I wear these.
FWIW... I wear these:
that's why i haven't tried it. fogging hasn't been THAT much of an issue for me and i CAN'T stand even a little smudge on my glassesRhinofromWA said:
